*PART 2 shows you the number of votes + WHO voted for them on the 52 Member panel.

*PART 3 are some of the QUOTES from members of our panel FOR THAT CATEGORY.
___________________________________________________________

The award goes to SHABBA!

ANALYSIS:
*SHABBA rode to the top of the HMI for 2009 after releasing his first solo CD. The DJAKOUT MIZIK spark plug shows that you do not have to be the main or lead singer of your group to be appreciated by your peers in the business, as well as the fans. Congrats SHABBA. 2009 was "YOUR" year. SHABBA....Kompa Magazine's 2009 ARTIST OF THE YEAR as voted by the 52 HMI panel members.

+ PAPA JUBE: "I will give that one to "SHABBA". Many people underestimated Shabba's potential, and he took everyone by surprise, his album is being played on rotation everywhere i go, and I love the entire album."

+ FABRICE ROUZIER: "Misty Jean. You will regain a sense of hope by attending one of her shows. I was in attendance at one she did here @ Canne à Sucre. She does not only look stunning on and off stage , she also is one of the top vocalists in the HMI."

+ ROBERTO MARTINO: "I'll go with Nickenson Prudhomme.
He is the engine behind Harmonik and hasmade a lot of sacrifices to put Harmonik where they are today! DWET CELESTE LA BON BAGAY!"

+RICHIE: "Shabba. He worked and now should come the reward."

+REGINALD FOSBARON Festival: "I will go with Nicky on this one. He deserve it for all his hard work in the HMI not just Harmonik"

+ MIA LOPEZ: "Hands down Pat, SHABBA. We were waiting for his album, and behind the scenes Shabba is one of the hardest working artists I have met. He will get off the stage in and boom he’ll be letting people know his album is out and making sure they get their copy. Appearing on everyone’s projects and making sure the top dogs got on his album, he is making his identity clear as Shabba and not just as Shabba Djakout."

+ ELIE LAPOINTE: "That one goes straight to Pipo Stanis".

+ MICKEY WALKER (Rafrechi): "This has to go to Nickenson (b)!!! What Harmonik has accomplished this year would be very difficult to redo by any standard in any music industry. The band just keeps getting better with a great new drummer, sick grooves and so on. Kembe la Nicky, wap fe maleurrrr as a maestro."

PS: They were NOT allowed to vote for themselves or their bands. ONLY when 2 MEMBERS OF THEIR BANDS WERE NOMINATED in the same category were members given the option to vote for ONE pick._________________KOMPAMAGAZINE CONTACT INFO
